Facet Nerve Block
I'm scheduled to undergo a facet nerve block procedure on Monday 2-4.
I have had a myriad of diagnostic procedures over the last 14 years, including multiple facet injections (no relief with those, by the way), but somehow have escaped having a facet nerve block.
The scrip simply reads "L3 & L4 facet nerve blocks". I will certainly ask questions at the center where the nerve block will be performed prior to the procedure, but would like to know if any of you have had this performed.
Can you relate your experiences, please?
Many Thanks in Advance,
Jeff
